Z is for ... Zoisite


A gorgeous mineral that can be green, brown, pink, yellow, gray, blue or violet. Gray doesn't do much for me, but when it's pink, blue or violet, it's stunning. On eBay I mostly see it in red-and-green ruby zoisite bracelets. They look like something a Persian queen would wear.
